Russia is preparing for a long war and building military factories - investigation (photo)

New hangars and workshops appeared on objects that provide troops of the invaders with tactical and strategic aircraft, combat helicopters, drones and missiles, which testifies to Russia's intentions to strengthen the war in the coming years. Satellite photos have found significant changes in the territories of Russian enterprises that repair equipment and weapons for troops. The Scheme Project (Radio Liberty) informed the details.

The objects restore tactical and strategic planes, combat helicopters. Workers also collect managed ammunition and military drones. This year, as journalists have learned, the Russian Federation intends to carry out the construction of certain structures at facilities. Production is expanding for their military needs, not for civilians. In the city of Dubna, the Moscow region operates the machine -building design bureau "Raduga". It produces rockets X-22, X-55, X-101.

The large building was erected here in 2021, and was completed in 2023. The new private plant for the production of Russian UAV belongs to Kronstadt. It specializes in the release of military drones under the brand "Helios", "Orion" and others, with various modifications - from reconnaissance to shock. Strategic bombers, such as TU-22M3 and Tu-160, are being built and repaired at the enterprise in Kazan. Of these, the Russians launch missiles in Ukraine.

In 2018, a new big hangar began to be created on the territory of this facility, but in 2022 the construction was accelerated. Already this year, the building was almost completed. According to military experts, this shop can also repair and modernize strategic bombers. Repair and production of Su-30 fighter jets is carried out by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant.

In its territory, from 2019 to 2021, an hangar appeared with a corresponding access to the airplane, and this year the construction of another, similar object, is completed this year. Scheme journalists noted that in the plant from 2019 to 2021 there was an extension with access to the aircraft lane. It happened near the main capacity. This year it is planned to complete the construction of another, similar object.

The city of Yekaterinburg has another enterprise that provides Russian aviation for war against Ukraine by engines. Workers repair motors and reducers that can also be used in KA-52, Mi-2, Mi-8, Mi-24 in military helicopters. All these helicopters were fixed on the front line. Recall that at the end of October, the head of the State Corporation "Rostekh" Sergey Chemezov reported on an increase in the production of shock helicopters in 2022 more than twice.
